I submitted my secondary mid-September, and got an email that my review was complete early October. Not sure if anyone else with this timeline has heard back about a II.

Looking at last year's thread - by the time the FB page hit ~85 (in early Feb), they had filled the class, nearly given out all interview slots with ~100 slots left (but interviews from mid-Feb forward for waitlist spots).

Hoping they may be more behind this cycle, but very unsure. Haven't sent in an update letter, so may do that at this rate and just see.

They're just down right now ya'll. Also for those of you still waiting, don't lose hope, but just for reference, I spoke to someone in the office. If you are looking for updates, interview invites, acceptance/rejection updates, anything... typically expect them to come on Fridays.

Not trying to bring you down and your hopes for wanting something today, but just so you know how their schedule works.. here is an idea of what I was provided.

Typically, Mondays you will not hear anything as they are dealing with other responsibilities.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are interview days.

Thursdays are when the admissions committee meets to talk about the interviews for that week, and potential interview invites going forward.

With that being said decisions and interview invites are typically sent on Fridays. There is no rhyme or reason to when during the day they are sent it could be early morning/it could be midnight. Again there are exceptions to this, but typically that's when you will hear something.

This past Friday the school was closed, so you could get something today, but the fact that the system is down.. is kind of a multiple-school thing, so just letting ya'll know. Good luck!

That makes complete sense
 
Dear HUCM,

I wanna take you to church today… I’ve been working on trusting God’s promises and having more faith. Hebrews 11:1-3, 6 says my faith in God and my acts of faith are pleasing to Him. So with faith in hand I want to thank you, Howard, in advance for my medical school acceptance and propelling me forward in my aspirations of becoming a physician.

Amen!?

Sincerely,
An incoming HUCM student

Hey guys. i just got a ii. Super excited since it’s my top school. I would love for any tips for the interview and how y’all prepared for it. Thanks!

Congrats on your interview 🙂

The best way to prepare is to look at the questions in the interview feedback link in the very first post of the thread.
It was a low stress interview. (But this is dependent on who you get as an interviewer.)

My interview wasn't too structured, any question that was asked kinda drifted into conversation on the topic.
The interview is open file, but my interview said that they are discouraged from bringing up things like your MCAT score (though idk how many of them follow that)

Good luck!

I'm seriously convinced that Howard sends interviews and acceptances person by person this cycle lolol. When u look at last years thread u can see that even around Feb/March, multiple people were hearing back about IIs or acceptances on the same day/time

somewhat true, also rn is kinda weird timing.. I know personally I was WL, and not everyone wants to share that.. also after Jan 1 it is more likely to see more WL just because it can be assumed (idk this for sure) that a large majority of the class has been filled. That's not to scare ya'll! Many people get off the WL based on other years' threads and just a coincidence of initially accepted students choosing other schools. Ya'll are next:xf:
